Okay, first things first. If you don't know what MST3K is, a) I pity you, and b) you can find out all about it here. Now, assuming you have that down, I can explain that RATMM is the official MST3K newsgroup, and it's the only place on Usenet that I feel a real affinity for, for reasons that are only slightly relevant to MST3K itself. That is, the show gets talked about there sometimes, but much like the Spider Robinson Usenet groupalt.callahans, the newsgroup has completely (d)evolved to a free-for-all discussion on anything and everything. It is, however, informed by the sarcastic, silly mentality of the show itself, and also spiked with a good bit of nonsense and flirting. I have a real affinity for this place - I met at least half a dozen of my closest friends there, and at least one love affair resulted from it. So I LIKE IT VERY MUCH. I am now and forever known there as The Midnight Rambler, which sort of has something to do with the Stones song, but not really, so it fits. [3]
